The men’s 1500m is arguably one of the toughest events to consistently medal and finish high. There are countless athletes across a plethora of countries competing at a high level in the 1500 meters. The margin for error is extremely narrow and one false move can sabotage a great effort. Canada’s Taylor Milne knows this all too well. This past weekend Taylor went after the Canadian A Standard of 3:35:50 at the Payton Jordan Invitational from Stanford University but fell short running 3:38.07 in an extremely competitive field. Runner’s Feed asked Taylor a few questions prior to the event. We wish Taylor the best of luck as he chases this standard over the next couple of months. Read More

Coolsaet was a standout at The University of Guelph and helped Dave Scott-Thomas build the dynasty that is The Gryphons Cross Country Program, before taking to the track and running some blazing fast times.

The road to the Olympic Games is one that provides an extraordinary array of challenges for any athlete, regardless of their sport. For Canadian middle distance athlete Taylor Milne, the 2012 Olympic dream is a goal he fully intends to make a reality.

Few other Olympic events offer parody on this level, even qualifying for the semi-finals in Men’s 1500 meters is quite an accomplishment. Read More
